Sure!

Quick question: Do you play FFXIV, by chance? Or did you find your way here through some small miracle of Google and other magic? The site's predominantly for folks roleplaying in the XIV world, but we do find all sorts here.

Accurator · **05-12-2015, 11:35 AM**

...No... I used google.. Uh, so I just thought, like, I rp now and then, and like, the site I rped on is kinda dead, but I played some FF for the first time and felt like rping, so, yeah, I searched for a rping site, cause, best way to find out wheter its gonna work is trying.. right..?

Warren Castille · **05-12-2015, 11:45 AM**

Depends on the sort of roleplay you're looking for! We do have a fairly active section dedicated specifically to play-by-post roleplay, but we're all mostly situated in the XIV game world.

hmmm....shame about the last forum you used for rp. this forum is geared more to rp with the mmo game xiv a realm reborn. a good general rp site that i used to lurk on to read was iwakuroleplay.com they have a lot of forums for either original or series based (like anime, game, movie, ect ect) it's free and you may have better luck there. (just a warning some stuff is over 18 there so if that's an issue; you might want to watch out for some of those rp's but they should be labeled.)

good luck with your search and if you do get a copy of ffxiv; pop back in and we'll be more than happy to rp with ya ;3

Accurator · **05-12-2015, 11:51 AM**

...I don't know what kind of rp I'm looking for, I only ever really rped on that site, with either... Uh, rp in a "room" (where you can use a flash file for your character and use actions n stuff, and post your action in the chatbox) and rp in a group (rp with a bio n stuff in a "group" (with threads for info), and a chatbox... And such.), and I don't think I can do that anywhere else... So uh... Yeah, I don't think I care much about the kind of rp, but I'm not very good at rping... ...

Accurator · **05-12-2015, 11:56 AM**

Oh, uh so I can't rp here without playing FFXIV first? Mmk... I don't think theres any active FF tactics rp so I guess I'll just have to try something else... I guess.

Warren Castille · **05-12-2015, 12:13 PM**

That's not entirely true! Clio was just pointing out that this website functions as a sort of companion to the roleplay that happens in the game most of the time. That doesn't mean there isn't RP on the board, but it's usually in response to what's already happened or going to happen in-game.

It also means that, while there's a metric fuckton of lore dumped here, we don't have a really dedicated library for it, since most of this stuff is available in game. That doesn't mean you're not welcome to look around and lurk a bit or ask questions to get a feel for things!

Oh, okay. So uh, can I like, have a non-canon character? I really want to rp as a moogle thief/fusilier :PÂ But uh, this rp seems a bit difficult for my level - I'm not good with bios, too... So uh, if I can rp here n stuff, uh, can someone help me with that?

Cliodhna Eoghan · **05-12-2015, 12:24 PM**

nope, just trying to offer a good alternative for you since your old one is no longer being used. it might be a bit more difficult to rp here without the game because as warren stated; rp on the game and the forums kinda go hand and hand here and you'll end up on missing out on some things without being present in the game. you're still more than welcome to poke around (may even encourage you to try the game, it's great imo....first mmo i didn't hate :3 ) but i'm just not sure how much rp you'll find here and as it was also stated; lore is a bit jumbled around in varying threads so that might be a bit hard to keep track of without the game as well.

as far as another site like what you had with actions and chat boxes...never really did too many of them myself so i can't suggest any off hand....maybe try a search saying "site like ___ with rp" or something?

Warren Castille · **05-12-2015, 12:24 PM**

That would probably work! If you're interested on playing a moogle, I'm going to go ahead and link to the first result for "XIV moogle wiki" that Google spit at me.

Because XIV is definitely its own familiar-but-different world, moogles here aren't quite the same as they are in the FFTA series. I'd recommend giving it a look-over and seeing if it's still in line with what you're looking to do!

I can't imagine too many folks objecting to that sort of character - although Moogles in FFXIV are a bit different from the Moogles in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: Grimoire of the Rift.

I think the biggest issue you might have is that there's an entire world that is in FFXIV that all this RP is based around, and you might have difficulty RPing with that given all the information you wouldn't have ready access to. Not just information like "what is the Echo" or "who is Louisoix", but what Ul'dah or Limsa is, or what a Roegadyn or Elezen might be!

Accurator · **05-12-2015, 12:53 PM**

...They look a bit weird... I guess I should compare them...

Pom-pom(?) - Check; It seems smaller, and the...String-ish-thing is shorter
Size - Check - They seem smaller tho.
Wings(?) - Check
Ears - Check; A lot smaller
Kupo - Unknown
Whiskers - Check

Most seems to be in order.

Moogles in FFXIV are less playable humanoid race as they are magical creature-ish. They do still have quite a few unique features in the world of Hydaelyn (currently only in Eorzea).

They handle all our in-game mail.
They taught people how to commune with nature, which is Conjury.
They have a (possibly fictional king) the Good King Moggle Mog XII
They can make themselves invisible/shown at will

This video contains the Opening of the first version of the game (FFXIV 1.0) and it's ending/open of the second version of the game (FFXIV 2.0)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbcqHdY-UYE

Without trying to get into too much detail to cause an overload, I'll try to give a quick world settings.

Planet: Hydaelyn
Races: Hyur (humans), Miqo'te (look like cat people), Lalafell (little people), Elezen (elves, effectively), Roegadyn (big people?), Au Ra (new race, demonic theme)
Places:
1) Eorzea - the country we're in. It's composed of a few city-states.
2) Thanalan - big desert region. Houses the city state of Ul'dah, a desert oasis city.
2) La Noscea - an island off the coast of the mainland, houses the city-state of Limsa Lominsa, which was formerly pirates.
3) The Black Shroud - a large forest. Also called the Twelveswood, in relation to the 12 gods of Eorzea. Houses the city-state of Gridania, which is allowed to exist as an agreement between the forest's Elementals (almost demigod-like beings) and mankind.
4) Coerthas - previously green and foresty area that's been frozen in a (seemingly) eternal winter. Houses the city-state of Ishgard. They do not like dragons.
